Congressman Amodei introduces bill to transfer federal lands in Nevada for economic and public benefits.

Representative Mark Amodei has reintroduced a bill called the Northern Nevada Economic Development and Conservation Act, which aims to transfer federal lands in several Nevada counties and cities for economic growth and public purposes like parks and flood management. The bill also designates about 148,000 acres as wilderness. Amodei hopes the legislation will help create affordable housing and expand recreational areas.
